After hours of struggling through the jungle on his crutches, Matt—who was born with diastrophic dysplasia, a degenerative dwarfism that has caused him to have to undergo numerous painful operations throughout his 51-years—is brought literally to tears, and his distressed and angry state causes him to lash out and to question his future with Amy.

“Sometimes I don’t want to be a little person,” Matt tells Amy as he collapses onto the floor, visibly in pain from the hiking exertion. “I want to walk with the whole family but I can’t.

“I wish I could keep up with activities like this, but I can’t!” Mat screams at Amy. “I can’t keep up! This is just as far as I can go—I’m done. I mean, it’s the end of the road, I don’t know where we are at right now, we just have differences.”
